Corey, this is a great one, and I can’t wait to play it. My only thought was wanting a slight difference in the lyrics of the final chorus. Can one or two lines be substituted for an even greater feeling of finality at the song’s end? Can it get even sadder, LOL?

Corey replies: Thanks, Jacob. I hadn’t thought about that. I like the idea. Let me see if I can find another workable rhyme with shower, devour, and hour, to substitute a line or two… Or maybe the last chorus should just switch to past tense?

and by the way – this picture of you on the gurney TOTALLY creeps me out.

Corey replies You know that’s not me, right? Just checking.

Corey – I find this song so moving, it caught my breath as soon as it started to play. There is something extravagant, unrestrained about it that took me by surprise, I don’t know why. But I love it very much, and I quite agree with Yvan that the lyrics are not too much, or if they are, they feel right and necessary. And yes, I like the instrumental break with maybe some dancing.

Corey replies: Thanks, Emma. I’m glad you find it moving and appropriate finale material. This is, I think, the only song where everyone is playing all the time, which may be why it sounds so much more extravagant than the other songs. A good thing, I think. I’ll be curious to know what the musicians think of it when we read through it in rehearsal this weekend.

Wow. This is really beautiful and so extremely sad. LOVE it as the ending of the piece. Re: the lyrics…I don’t think there’s necessarily anything more over the top about them than the rest of the songs. And if there is, it’s in a way which seems appropriate for this kind of a ending to the piece. Something logical about a little extra over-the-top-ness. But I don’t think it is in any way too much. The space btw chorus 2 & verse 3…I don’t think the song needs more lyrics at all. A short period there of instrumental + dance could be very nice.

Corey replies: Thanks, Yvan!

This song makes me feel good, But the words are so depressing.

Corey replies: Thanks, GregS. I like that the music and words are each pushing you in a different direction.
